assistant. Xena soon realises that Gabrielle possesses an unconventional
wisdom and comes to rely upon Gabrielle for advice and friendship as
she leads her army in a campaign of conquest. After conquering Athens,
Xena becomes Empress of Greece and all of the Greek territories, previously
controlled by ruthless warlords and petty kings, are united under her
rule. Her ambitions do not stop there. It is Xena's self-proclaimed destiny
to rule over a vast empire, and so she looks toward Rome as her next
conquest. In the service of the Conqueror, Gabrielle goes from being
a naÔve village girl to the Empress' most trusted advisor and friend,

possible. Xena is Empress of Greece with ambitions to rule an empire that
eclipses even Alexander the Great. Together their mutual attraction has
grown into love, but they soon find that being in love is easy compared
to building a relationship – especially when Xena insists it must
be kept secret.

that. But if they know about you, about us, then you will become a
target as well, and that I could never live with."

Will Gabrielle be able to bring about social reforms and
secure a treaty with the Amazons, or will political rivals thwart her
efforts? Will Xena be able to stay focused on her plans for conquering
Asia Minor, or will her relationship with Gabrielle prove to be too much
of a distraction? Will their love be strong enough to navigate the treacherous
waters of political intrigue, personal relationships, and potential enemies?

The Conqueror Series - LJ Maas

Tale 1

Journey's End
For those not familiar with this continuing story that started on the
Ex-Guards Mail List, this Xena is not the dark ruler from many Conqueror
stories, so some will not care for it. It is more the story of that same
dark Warrior after she has ruled for twenty years or so. She has come
to the point in her life where she is trying to change, for many reasons...enter
slave, Gabrielle.

Petal of the Rose
(The)
This Xena is not the dark ruler from many Conqueror stories. It is rather
the story of that same dark Warrior after she has ruled Greece and the
surrounding lands for twenty years or so. She has come to the point in
her life where she is trying to change, for many reasons...enter slave,
Gabrielle. The Lord Conqueror's new slave, a submissive and frightened
young woman, holds the power to change Xena, if only she can muster the
spirit.

Time's Fell Hand
- L. J. Maas
As always, the Conqueror is rather like having a Bengal tiger for a pet.
She has come a long way since meeting Gabrielle, but Xena will never be
considered tame, by any means. She has her ferocious moments just as she
has the domesticated ones. Lying just beneath the surface of this complicated
woman lies the Beast, Ares' curse upon the one-time Warrior Princess.

Conqueror's
Harvest - ArdentTly
Dark in both deed and desire, Lord Xena held her empire in a painful grip, determined
to have her reign go down in the annals of history as not only the most powerful,
but the most fearsome as well. Into her stronghold was brought a young woman
naive in the ways of the world but learned in the ways of the heart. Her fierce
determination to change the cold and heartless Conqueror would have both women
in a battle of wills, pitting both against each other, the truth, and life as
they both knew it.

Conqueror's
Winter (A) - cornwel [unfinished]
In this version of the conqueror plot, Gabrielle is an Amazon Princess daughter
of Melosa, a traveling bard and a muckraker. Xena is Lord Conqueror she's is
a little bit quirky and a lot evil and is enraged - scrolls that rouse the people
to rebellion. A light conqueror story.

Destiny Conquered-
Texbard (Bard's Challenge winner) - a conqueror story. Xena has conquered Greece
and has her sight set on Rome. She meets a slave, Gabrielle, and her world is
turned upside down. Please read the disclaimers. It is violent and graphic.

Edge of
Nowhere (The) - Annemaart
A Conqueror story with a twist. Three years after the events of Armageddon,
Xena has settled down in her role as ruler of the world. The Empire is peaceful
and prospering, crime is at an all time low... In other words, the Conqueror
is bored out of her mind. Which is why she quickly agrees to personally
solve a "minor" problem reported to her by the regent of Macedonia. The
minor problem turns out to be a handful however, and the face off sets in
motion a cascade reaction of changes.

Fever (The)
- Xesbard Racked with fever, Gabrielle experiences a different side of Xena's
character.... a side known as the Conqueror.

Gladiator- Carola Eriksson
It's about two different people, a meeting and fate. If you loved WFC, then
this is definitely a good read. Dark, but with light at the end of the tunnel.

Last Conqueror
(The) - Lariel & Kamouraskan
The Empire is crumbling and a struggle for power is about to begin. Dark
forces are converging, and crucial choices have to be made. But which choice
is the right one? And what difference can a streetsmart kid from Corinth
and an insane prisoner make anyway, against forces which draw their power
from the evil of the earth? Added the first two sections.

Leader (The) -
Storm
Xena, the Conqueror, rules in a very harsh way. A resistance movement tries to
oppose her power, but one of the members is captured. Xena dares the leader of
the resistance to surrender, to save the captive's life. And a blonde woman arrives
at Xena's palace...

My Lord Conqueror: Changes
Xena has been Conqueror of the Known World, ruler of Greece and the most feared warrior in all the land, for a number of years. Bored
with her duties at the keep at Surra, she takes a side trip to the small village of Potidea, where her entire world changes forever.
She meets a feisty young village girl -an orphan storyteller with a heart of gold and the courage to stand up to her. The one person
in all of Greece who will surely steal the Conqueror's heart and turn her world upside down is the one who will change her utterly and
completely.
Gabrielle's life has never been easy. She watched helplessly as her family's livelihood was stolen by raiders and her father disappeared
without a trace. After narrowly escaping slavers who took her friends, she and her sister then watched their mother slowly waste away and die.
But little did they know the worst was yet to come. One day, their village was visited by the dreaded Conqueror and nothing could prepare them
for the changes to come.

Taking Chances
Xena is no longer Conqueror of the Known World, ruler of Greece or the most feared warrior in the land. After a sound defeat at the
hands of Romans and a former ally, as well as a heart-wrenching betrayal by her own brother, Xena is regrouping and preparing to retake
Greece and restore her reputation. With the help of a certain green-eyed Amazon queen and her retinue, Xena embarks on a journey to
once again conquer the Known World.

and foreign forces. Their, at times, unexpected terms of engagement, both spoken
and unspoken, mark what becomes a fragile and enigmatic bond.

order to realize her destiny as Queen of Greece. In turn, Xena finds

Love. Though the gods' actions challenge the lives of both Conqueror

consequences upon their union. This is a story that explores the nature
of love, truth and loyalty extending beyond Gabrielle and Xena to include
their closest confidants.

a symbol of the unique bond they share. Mayt continues the story of the Royals
as Xena returns to Corinth to once again rule Greece with Gabrielle. Though

actions of an enemy of the state, as well as unrelated events, alters the relationships

redeemed causes each woman to revisit promises made to one another and
to abide by their consequences, no matter how difficult. Also, during this
time Xena is presented with an opportunity to revisit her greatest sacrifice.

of Civello in the north Grecian mountains. Alone, with their identities know

conqueror type story and here it is.

Shattered- Lariel A Conqueror story: How can one woman make a difference, in the face of
oppression, cruelty and fear? How can another woman risk her life to save
the ruined remains of an idealistic rebel? And how can hope survive when it
grows on the barren soil of the Conqueror's Corinth?

Shopping with the Conqueror

Alt Xena the Conqueror is a mean, evil...well! -We get the idea. What does the
Conqueror do when she needs a scribe? Well, she goes to the local slave market,
of course! And meets a small, irritating blonde.

Victor, Invictus- Imagine A short story about passion and will, fortune and fate, a Roman Conqueror
called Caesar, and a young pirate captain named Xena.

Waiting To Happen
- Claire Withercross Waiting in the rain seems just like a normal, boring day on border patrol
for Ephiny. Only the thought of Queen Gabrielle waiting for her when she gets
back is keeping her going. But her life is turned upside down when Xena, The
Conqueror, and her army arrive. For Gabrielle has a difficult choice to make
when she begins negotiations with Xena. Can she solve the problem without
anyone getting hurt?

Waking Up With

in Jappa. Desire goes to bed one night and wakes up on judgment day in front
of the Conqueror wearing only her Xena T-shirt and a smile. Desire' becomes
the Conqueror's body slave and must find the stone, open up the heart of the
Conqueror and reunite her with her soulmate Gabrielle all without getting
herself killed by the temperamental ruler or without getting her heartbroken
over a love that can never be hers forever.

There is a bit of erotica in it, both lesbian and straight and
a lot of comedy if you can picture the Conqueror doing the Tush Push or learning
baseball and football etc. The hero of this story is an XWP fan who eventually
gets it right and finds out that she has an ancient soul that is forever connected
to Xena and Gabrielle.

Warm Wet Circles- Claire Withercross

bent on vengeance. (The sequel to Waiting
To Happen )
